  • Our Home Away From Home!

    Funded Nov 10, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding my project.

    Learning in a pandemic has definitely taken a toll on all of us. Now more than ever teachers have the difficult job of filling the gaps that have been created due to the pandemic.

    Thanks to your generous donation the students are able to step away from their computers and use more hands-on manipulatives that they do not have to share. They are able to sit comfortably on the floor using the letter carpet squares while still feeling safe and keeping their distance.

    The magnetic shelves are in our Reading Nook and are used to display geners of books that we are currently reading.

    Thank you for all you do for us!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Thompson

  • Motivated Movers Always on the Go!

    Funded Nov 25, 2019

    We love using our new wobble stools at the Guided Reading table. Putting them here gave each of my students an opportunity to use one on a daily basis. They all fight to use them when GR is not taking place. I knew a few of my wiggle worms would gravitate right toward them, and I was not wrong! Some of my students ask to use them at their desks. I don't mind, it keeps them focused and on task!!!!

    They were so excited when they came in and saw them. When I explained how I got them, they felt so special. You can see them beaming, knowing that someone really cared enough about them and their needs. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Thompson

Many students have a difficult time sitting still. Research supports allowing students to sit in chairs that move or are comfortable, keep them on task. By adding wobble stools to my classroom I am able to give my wiggly students a chance to move while working and complete the task at hand. I would utilize these stools at my Guided Reading table where each student would have a turn sitting on the stools Currently all students are sitting on blue plastic chairs because that is all that is offered to them. I am picturing those wonderful smiles when they see these new stools at their teacher table for Guided Reading. One more reason to love reading!
